Hello, All:
What's the status and future plans for R-Forge?
I ask primarily because a problem I reported May 15 and 17 via
two different channels has yet to be fixed, and it prevents my
development versions of the Ecdat and Ecfun packages from building --
because the Windows version cannot find "Matrix"; see below.
Secondarily, the version of R that R-Forge tried to use earlier today
was 3.5.3 -- NOT the current version.
Assuming you recommend migrating to GitHub, do you have a
preferred procedure? I found
"https://gist.github.com/friendly/7269490". This says it was "Last
active 2 years ago" but seems to be the most current advice I can find
on this right now. That looks complicated, but I assume it preserves
the edit history on R-Forge. ???
R-Forge is mirrored on Github; see https://github.com/rforge/ecdat, for
example. That shows 418 commits in its history; presumably that's the
full R-forge history. I think that's newer than Michael Friendly's gist.
So I suspect (but haven't tried to do this) that migration now is as
simple as doing a Github fork to your own Github account, and then
basically forgetting about the R-forge stuff, or deleting it (and I
don't know how to do that).
